GerDaLIR: A German Dataset for Legal Information Retrieval
We present GerDaLIR, a German Dataset for Legal Information Retrieval based on case documents from the open legal information platform Open Legal Data. The dataset consists of 123K queries, each labelled with at least one relevant document in a collection of 131K case documents. We conduct several baseline experiments including BM25 and a state-of-the-art neural re-ranker. With our dataset, we aim to provide a standardized benchmark for German LIR and promote open research in this area. Beyond that, our dataset comprises sufficient training data to be used as a downstream task for German or multilingual language models.

This paper investigates chunking strategies for retrieval-augmented generation on German statutory law, using the German Civil Code as a structured benchmark corpus. We implement and compare a range of segmentation appro…
Computational EfficiencyInformation RetrievalSegmentation and Processing of German Court Decisions from Open Legal Data
The availability of structured legal data is important for advancing Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques for the German legal system. One of the most widely used datasets, Open Legal Data, provides a large-scale…
German BERT Model for Legal Named Entity Recognition
The use of BERT, one of the most popular language models, has led to improvements in many Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. One such task is Named Entity Recognition (NER) i.e. automatic identification of named en…
